As far as I can tell from looking at the code (CVS) in ServletDispatcher/GenericDispatcher when an exception is thrown in the Action.execute() ServletDispatcher will generate a WebWork specific error page (HTTP Response Code 500). It will not select the "error" view. It's this WW specific error page I would like to override with an application specific view (your standard error.jsp in most cases). Also see my previous post on why the WW framework should handle java.lang.Throwable instead of java.lang.Exception in these cases. //Anders -- |===================================| | Anders Engström | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | http://www.gnejs.net | |===================================| |Your mind is like an umbrella. | |It doesn't work unless you open it.| | /Frank Zappa | |===================================| ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
